Don't change our national flower

Most of you know me and that I am a woman and citizen of Guam, who believes in telling and preserving Guam's history.

And one notable point is our national flower, the puti tai nobio.

I am asking you to support the puti tai nobio, our national flower since introduced by my late husband, Sen. Rafael Camacho Sgambelluri, and passed by the 9th Guam Legislature in 1968, as Public Law 9-222.

Please do not change our flower, as our island has enjoyed its beauty for many, many years!

Thank you for your support.
